For a brief window earlier today, a promotional blurb for the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:EA-published Wild Hearts noted that it was coming to "gen 5 consoles," reminding us all that nobody act🎉ually has any idea what 🍸console generation we're in.

The for Wild Hearts initially noted that the game "will be available on gen 5 consoles and PC," meaning PS5, Xbox Series X and S, and the usual combo of Steam😼, Epic, and the EA app. The message has since been replaced witꦏh a generic "consoles and PC," but the internet .

It seems EA quickly learned the lesson that everyone eventually must: conso๊le generations are mad𒊎e up and the numbers don't matter.

The idea of console generations has been around for years, describing the jump in technology between, say, the PlayStation to the PS2. The issue is that there's no real accept🌞ed numbering of generations. If people have an idea of how the generations should be numbered, it's probably based 🐲on a , which starts with a first generation of the Magnavox Odyssey and home Pong consoles, and ends in a ninth generation with the Xbox Series X and PS5.

I guess EA can't technically be wrong here if this is all made up by Wikipedia editors - please enjoy the arguing about whether the Switch is eight or ninth gen - but the weird part of all this is that the𒆙re's no interpretation where PS5 and Xbox Series X are "gen 5 consoles."

Seriously, I've been trying to figure out this generation math all day. Is it because we're in the PS5 generation, ignoring🦹 all the 2D-focused consoles that had come before? That's a pretty arbitrary stopping point! I mean, all the stopping points are arbitrary and none of this matters, obviously, but once you start talking🧔 about generations, this is the mess you land in.

Anyway, Wild Hearts comes out on February 17. It's developed by Koei Tecmo, and it's a Monster Hunter-like with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:smaller parties than Monster Hunter.
